The new Gelsey Kirkland Ballet on Jay Street brings their version of the perennial holiday classic to the stage in DUMBO. Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic and emotional score, The Nutcracker is the classic story about a young girl’s journey through fear and darkness to the light of love. Marie’s transformation from child to princess begins with an unlikely gift from her godfather at a Christmas eve party; an ugly doll that cracks nuts. Follow Marie’s journey as she is menaced by dancing rats and ultimately rescued by the Nutcracker who leads her up the Christmas tree into the land of snow and beyond…into his kingdom.
Nutcracker performances will take place from December 10 to 20 including weekend matinees for the whole family at 12 and 2 pm. Tickets are on sale here starting at $20.00.
